Writer is meant to be WYSIWYG. ● ‘What you see is what you get’ does not apply at the editing stage: you ‘see’ the cursor when you edit, but you don't ‘get’ it in the document; you ‘see’ the blue background of your edit window, but you don't ‘get’ it in the document; you ‘see’ a string highlight (eg, in a search), but you don't ‘get’ it in the document. Same for the currentLine: you will ‘see’ it (easily, thank-you very much!), but you won't ‘get’ it in the document. So, ‘changing the line color’ during editing does not ‘contradicts this effort’. > Text editors provide this functionality very well. ● Right. So, you are telling LO users to go and use their favorite text editors if they want to enjoy this functionality… -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

It overwrites the paragraph/character formatting ● No, it does not. Heading 3 remains Heading 3, FirstLineIndent remains FirstLineIndent, Italic remains Italic, Arial remains Arial, etc. Only the fore|background colours would be changed — without affecting the document, obviously. > and can be quite distracting ● The colour combination would be customizable, from ‘loud’ to soft, or indistinguishable currentLine. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

It could be implement on two or three major platorms for, let's say, 80% of users, and extended later if the other 20% see the benefits and demand it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=144165 --- Comment #3 from jan d --- Also for WF: Hard to implement, usefulness for most users unclear. If the window has focus, the cursor blinks, which makes it usually easy to find as peripheral vision is rather sensitive to movement. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
